Banter RDT 166 - Dark Sharks’ 45 minutes in Ellenbrook

[ArdentEagle]

I know one of the owners of a Zams.
Used to always joke he seasoned his food with his sweat. (big, sweaty guy)
Also very dodge so I have beleive him as and never eaten at one.

I'm actually directly related to the hospitality industry, maybe my palate is too fine. (as he eats a Whopper for lunch)

 

[Luuuc]

I'm only distantly related to the hospitality industry so I can f*ck it without people getting all judgemental

F*ck Grilld and f*ck maccas! (except Engadine)

Just paid $5 for 4 rolls of toilet paper. I hate society.

Overheard a conversation between some middle aged mums at the shops last night where they thought they were so incredibly clever that they "are getting in early to stock up on rice, pasta and toilet paper before the panic buyers get in in a few weeks". You. You are the panic buyers. You are the problem.

Can you blame them though? The supply chain crunch has been telegraphed for a week or so now. Human behaviour being what it is, some level of shelf clearing was inevitable.

 

[Dazzler9]

And before anyone asks, no, I swear I have not indulged in any panic buying.

My wife does the shopping.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Pretty sure I still haven’t gotten through my toilet paper from the last round of panic buying.

Every single panic buyer I’ve spoken to has said they only do it because of they don’t then the ‘real’ panic buyers will take it all.

If all the fools who I see loading their trolley with 6 bags of pasta and 20kg of rice because they are worried it will be taken by others stopped and just bought what they need like they would in their usual shop then there would be plenty for everyone

That sounds like our weekly shop.

Love Zambos if I want some cheap and nasty sh*t that doesn’t feel too greasy though.

Zambos isnt that cheap either.

 

[KERRPOW]

Dunno. I'm one of those stubborn dinosaurs who still hasn't dumped Foxtel. That's where I caught it.

I still have it. I keep calling to cancel and they keep discounting the plan.
The last one i got my plan down to $65/month (i got every channeL & HD except movies and box sets) and a free IQ4 upgrade.

I always ensure i have minimum 50bog rolls in the house now

 

[Chris_6678]

I'm glad i don't live in share house like in my 20's

We would have needed 100 rolls a week!

 

[Bender_]

Will finally get through the left over Christmas napkins now.

Read some stats and can't be arsed looking them up, but they said Grill'd is nowhere near as healthy as they make out.

Their low carb super bun has totally satisfied my fast food craving during my diet. Big fan of Grill’d here.

 

[squashface]

Only time I get fast food anymore is when I’m hungover and need a McMuffin + orange juice to get me going.

The thought/smell of it otherwise makes me feel unwell.

 

[Godfather32]

Yeah it's HBO so if you want to legally watch it (I'm looking at you Godfather32) you gotta go through Foxtel/Binge.

 

[DanWCE]

Did I download thaaaaat?

 

[FKASC]

really didn’t think I’d be seeing empty toilet paper aisles again almost two years later.

Melb or here?

Anyone up for a protest outside Parliament House against panic buying? I'll let you set fire to the doors.
